# Slimy Sneeze Pranks The Pranker Uses a Misty Spray to Fake Huge Sneezes By Jonathon Brown | Published 2012-12-14 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneeze-prank References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbqjfd4AIcI&feature=share&list=SP3643329C1980DBBD) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/prankkbros) If you’re not afraid of getting into a confrontation with a stranger, go ahead and try this sneeze prank for yourself. It’s one thing to frighten someone, it’s another thing entirely to sneeze on a person you don't know. In today’s world, there are so many [warnings about germs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/man-cold-relief-kit) that people are very aware of picking up anything from strangers while they are in public places. That’s why this sneeze prank is pretty risky. A man wearing a [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hacksmith) t-shirt (which might be a giveaway) is seen in this video standing on a street corner. Right as a pedestrian or group of pedestrians pass him, he keels over as if he’s [sneezing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathe-right-menthol-scented) and sprays a mist toward the pedestrian(s). Some of the people stop or look over at him immediately in disgust. One guy even turns and says, “what do you have?” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Prank Culture Evolution:** The evolution of prank videos shifting from harmless to more daring acts that challenge the boundaries of our social norms. - **Viral Marketing Campaigns:** Marketers taking advantage of viral prank videos by incorporating their brand into the video to reach larger audiences. - **Innovative Disguised Products:** The development of a sneeze spray that comes in innovative and more discreet packaging for use in non-harmful pranks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising:** The advertising industry can take advantage of viral prank videos by including their product in the video to reach a wider audience. - **Consumer Goods:** The consumer goods industry can invest in the development of sneeze sprays with more discreet packaging for non-harmful pranks. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can take advantage of the popularity of prank videos by creating television shows or movies that center around similar humor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multipurpose Nasal Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sinus-saline-nasal-spray.md) - [Flatulence-Firing Toy Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buttheads-fart-launcher-3000.md) - [Interactive Prank Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratch-reveal.md) - [Mischievous Scent Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scent-blaster.md) - [Sickness-Fighting AI Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mucus-masher.md) - [Saline Nasal Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saline-nasal-sprays.md) - [Sensory Ultra-Sour Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slime-licker-products.md) - [Natural Remedy Nasal Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decongestant-nasal-spray-1.md) - [Pocket-Sized Nasal Inhalers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snufff.md)
